Microsoft uses Click-to-Run technology to make the download and installation of Office applications fast and simple. Instead, users download Office applications from the Office 365 portal and install them on their local computers.
Microsoft 365 is a subscription service that provides you with the latest version of the Office desktop applications that you're already familiar with, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.Įven though Office is a cloud-based service, Office applications don't run in the cloud.
